World Business Report

Available for over a year

Women still make up only a third of the workforce of the big Silicon Valley giants like Facebook, Google, Uber and Apple, according to recent figures. Many people working in the industry claim a 鈥榖ro鈥� culture continues to dominate despite several cases of discrimination and harassment going to court. So is enough being done to redress the gender imbalance? Our workplace commentator Stephanie Hare argues that many large technology companies remain woefully ignorant about the need to promote inspirational women as role models.
